David “the Guaje” Villa is a world Champion. After an exciting final against Holland, Spain won 0-1.
The match developed in the style that Holland expected. A difficult and tough match that didn’t allow the Spaniards to develop the great combination game that has characterized them in the last years. The Guaje began the game as center forward, as Fernando Torres was kept on the bench.
David Villa enjoyed many opportunities, but none of them ended in the goal, which would have meant his 6th goal and ending the championship as the only top striker.
In the 12th minute he had his first opportunity, but he did not score. In the second half, with the entry of Navas and Cest, Spain enjoyed their best moments. Villa had three clear chances between the minues 69 and 76, but did not score. The ball wouldn’t go in this time.
The match reached the extra time, with the initial result of draw. David Villa continued running and working for the team, until he was substituted by Fernando Torres in the minute 105, after giving all his energy on the field. 10 minutes after, Spain’s goal came, in a combination between Fernando Torres, Cesc and finally Iniesta, who scored the goal. This way, and with a final result of 0-1, Spain becomes for the first time in its history, World Champions!!!!!!
David Villa did not stop celebrating with his teammates, after the goal and during the ceremony when they handed over the Cup and in the field with the supporters. And he celebrated it with a scarf of his team, the CD Tuilla.
Finally, David Villa drew in the striker list along with Forlán, Müller and Sneijder, all of them with 5 goals. The Golden Ball was for Forlán, the Silver ball for Sneider and the Bronze ball was for Villa. The Golden Ball as top goal scorer was for Müller due to his better percentage of goals and passes, in front of Villa. The german forward gave three passes, as opposed to 1 by Villa. But no one will dispute that added to the 5 goals that he scored for his team, he is the only one of the four who is World Champion.
On the other side, Villa is already the top striker of the national team in finals – he has scored 5 in the South Africa world cup and 3 in the Germany world cup 2006, 8 in total. Also he is only one goal away from Raúl, the top goal scorer in the history of the national team, with 43 goals only one away from Raúl’s 44.
At last will David Villa be able to dress the star that makes him a world champion with his national team, after the honor of winning a World Cup, something that only 8 national teams of the 119 federations that exist can say. A pride and a success.
